Space Adventure U.S. military sightings of UFOs

Mondo Science Updated on 2024-01-19

The U.S. Space Force has unveiled a plan to identify and track "anomalous" UFO sightings, and said that these "unknown objects" disrupted its "threat identification" mission. According to Pentagon data, thousands of UFOs have been detected since the agency began monitoring Earth orbit. While many sightings may be "natural debris" such as man-made space junk and meteoroids, foreign adversaries in the United States continue to launch spy satellites, such as North Korea's new Malligyong-1 and other secret orbital platforms. The Space Force has issued a new warning about the risks of spacecraft in large unmonitored areas between the Earth and the Moon, known as "pro-moon" orbits. The leadership of the department has already emphasized the importance of finding potential threats in "dangers" such as space junk in a recently published report. At the same time, the military is also working on a new, more bizarre category of potential "hazards and threats" and hopes to be able to distinguish between spacecraft anomalies to support anomaly resolution, recovery, and space attack assessment.

These anomalous observables have been a conundrum for the Space Force, who believe that these sightings are so frequent that they "hinder threat identification," which is a core mission for the division. The Space Force's mission is to "quickly identify and respond to threats and hazards" and also includes objects that exhibit anomalous observables and life patterns and cannot be associated with any owner or point of origin. In recent years, the Pentagon**, which is responsible for investigating UFO cases, including the now famous 2004 tic-tac-toe invasion, has focused its attention on five observable objects that it believes have severely unexplained characteristics. "Unidentified aerial phenomena" or UAPs of some "observable objects" appear to exhibit one or all of the following characteristics: (1.)Anti-gravity behavior, (2.)Radar or other sensors cannot be unambiguously observed, (3.)) sudden or instantaneous acceleration, (4.)hypersonic speed, but without such characteristics as a "sonic boom", and (5The so-called "trans-medium" travel, that is, shuttling between the air, the sea and outer space. However, it is not clear from the Space Force's STARCOM documents whether these five known UFO technical characteristics overlap with their own "anomalous observables".

At the moment, there are uncertainties about the "mode of life" detected from orbit. The Space Force's strategic document, entitled "Space Doctrine Publication 3-100, Space Domain Awareness," outlines the division's mission to monitor a vast orbital range, including everything from low-Earth orbit (LEO) to the moon. In the U.S. military, the term "life mode" is used to refer to the heat signals emitted by living human targets, ranging from drone warfare to deploying military surveillance. Physicist Dr. Seankirkpatrick, the outgoing head of the Pentagon's UFO investigation, also used the term to refer to UAP mysteries, including extraterrestrial spacecraft. Kirkpatrick said in December: "We are executing a rigorous scientific and technical program to ensure controlled calibration of sensors, life patterns and characterization development." More data will help build a more complete picture and support the resolution of anomalies. "The thermal signature of the body temperature of living beings (whether terrestrial or extraterrestrial) may fall into this category from the paragraphs of the new strategic document of the Space Force, which focuses on the infrared capabilities of the satellites used by the United States.

Starcom of the Space Forces suggests that optical and infrared sensors with a relatively wide (one square degree or more) field of view are also ideal for searching for unknown objects or objects with only approximately known locations. However, Lt. Gen. Deannaburt, the deputy chief of staff for Cyber and Nuclear Operations of the Space Force, also uses the term "life mode" to describe any and all detectable routine activity in space. Last May, Lt. Gen. Bert dropped the word "art" while criticizing China's opaque and uncooperative space program activities. Lieutenant General Burt told Spacenews: "We have shown what we are capable of. "The U.S. Space Force has released a new publication announcing their Space Domain Awareness (SDA) program, which aims to identify and track UFOs in Earth orbit. The strategic document, titled "Space Doctrine Publication 3-100, Space Domain Awareness," describes in detail their mission, including monitoring the range from low Earth orbit (LEO) to the Moon. Since its inception in 2019, the Space Force has tracked thousands of UFOs, with more than 25,000 of them found in orbit.

The Space Force said they want to actively identify these UFOs to determine if they pose a danger to the United States. In addition, they mention a new category, namely "objects that exhibit anomalous observables and patterns of life, and cannot be associated with any owner or point of origin". To address this issue, the Space Force has been specifically used for research, development, testing, and evaluation to protect the United States from foreign military activities in space. In the future, they plan to launch a new security and surveillance probe, the Oracle spacecraft, to test the technology for monitoring traversing the gravitationally stable zone between the Earth and the Moon. In general, the Space Force wants to "distinguish between the ** of spacecraft anomalies to support anomalous resolution, recovery, and space attack assessment." "However, this initiative will cost a lot of money, as well as the Space Force's other responsibilities, which are to provide satellites and other space support to U.S. forces on the ground around the world." This year, the military department asked Congress for a $30 billion budget in 2024, just one of several UFO-centric provisions in the 2024 National Defense Authorization (NDAA). Currently, this mandate is being voted on fiercely and contentiously on Capitol Hill.

According to the law on the creation of the Space Forces, the military department has two related, but distinct, duties. First, it must organize, train and equip personnel to "protect the interests of the United States and its allies in space." Second, it must also "provide space capabilities to joint forces on Earth," such as maintaining spy satellites and other space-based military hardware. Starcom of the Space Force noted that figuring out the mysteries of these UFOs, or UAPs, is essential to some extent so that it can continue to carry out other military unit support missions. The new guidance document states that anomalous signs unnecessarily deplete SDA resources that could otherwise support space and ground combat command, such as sensors, communications nodes, command and control centers, planners, and operators. A new concern, the document adds, is the growing threat from foreign spy satellites, especially in the large dark orbital region between the Earth and the Moon, known as the "Moon-Forward" orbit. The department's new strategy document states that current sensor capabilities will detect challenging conditions in the vast space between the Earth and the Moon and around the Moon, which pose difficulties in supporting joint force search, custody and collection operations.

The Space Force noted that the US Air Force Research Laboratory plans to build a new security and surveillance probe, the Oracle spacecraft. The probe is designed to be launched into the gravitationally stable region between the Earth and the Moon in 2026 to test technology for monitoring space traffic across the region. Given all these uncharted areas, it is not surprising that the US defense system is poorly monitored, so the "guardians" of the department are demanding that taxpayers in 2024 exceed their FY2023 budget by $3.9 billion. Currently, more than 60% of the U.S. Space Force's budget (about $19.2 billion) has been earmarked for research, development, testing and evaluation. In other words, the huge investment of nearly $20 billion is for the research and development of new tools and technologies to protect U.S. interests from foreign activities in outer space and potential alien threats. These problems are both new and increasingly serious, and they require corresponding responses to ensure the security of the country.
